Believing that an unexpected inheritance will bring them happiness, a married couple instead finds their relationship strained to the breaking point.

VIBE

A charmingly cynical look at how money complicates love. It feels like a witty, wistful pre-code romance where the glamour of wealth quickly fades, leaving behind a melancholic exploration of marital ennui and dashed dreams.
